for the quarter ended June 30th, 2013 (Form 10-Q) was not filed on a timely basis with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires the company to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC.
Veeco says Form 10-Q and its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31st, 2012 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30th, 2012 and March 31st, 2013, could not be filed timely because the company was reviewing the timing of the recognition of revenue and related expenses on the sale of certain of its products. The accounting review was announced on November 15th 2012.
Veeco had previously announced that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel informed Veeco that its request for continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market until November 4th, 2013 was granted.
On or prior to November 4th, 2013, Veeco must regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market including filing its outstanding annual and periodic reports with the SEC.
The company continues to conduct the review and intends to file its Forms 10-Q and 10-K as soon as reasonably practicable after these accounting matters have been resolved.
Veeco’s process equipment solutions enable the manufacture of LEDs, power electronics, hard drives, MEMS and wireless chips. The firm provides MOCVD, MBE, Ion Beam and other advanced thin film systems.
Veeco to reveal compact MBE tool
The company says its latest molecular beam epitaxy reactor is the industry’s first integrated MBE System for the compound semiconductor R&D market
Veeco Instruments has introduced the GENxplor Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) deposition system.
The GENxplor can create high quality epitaxial layers on substrates up to 3” in diameter and is ideal for cutting edge research on a wide variety of materials including GaAs, nitrides, and oxides.
a more affordable, flexible, and easy-to-use MBE system and Veeco has delivered with the GENxplor,” says Jim Northup, Veeco’s Vice President and General Manager. “We have repackaged Veeco’s industry-leading MBE technology into a novel ‘all-in-one’ design that combines the reactor and electronics on a single frame. It will change the way researchers use MBE.”
The GENxplor uses Veeco’s GEN10 growth chamber design and features process flexibility, ideal for materials research on emerging technologies such as UV LEDs, high-efficiency solar cells, and high-temperature superconductors.
Its efficient single frame design combines all vacuum hardware with on-board electronics to make it up to 40 percent smaller than other MBE systems, saving valuable lab space. And as the manual system is integrated on a single frame, installation time is reduced.
Veeco says the open architecture design of the GENxplor also improves ease-of-use and provides convenient access to effusion cells. And it also allows easier serviceability when compared to other MBE systems. When coupled with Veeco’s recently introduced retractable sources, the system is ideally suited to oxide materials research.
Keithley unveils interactive touchscreen for power
device analysis The firm’s offering combines capabilities of I-V systems, curve tracers, and semiconductor analysers at a fraction of their cost
Keithley Instruments has revealed a benchtop Source Measure Unit (SMU) instrument with a capacitive touchscreen graphical user interface.
The Model 2450 SourceMeter SMU Instrument combines the intuitive touchscreen and icon-based control that novice SMU users can appreciate with the versatility that experienced users need to learn faster, work smarter, and invent more easily.
The Model 2450’s design, Keithley’s latest generation of SMU instruments, offers a fundamentally new way for users to interact with test and measurement instruments. It is based on the company’s innovative “Touch, Test, Invent” design philosophy.
Latest GENxplor R&D MBE System Keithley Instruments Model 2450 SMU “The compound semiconductor R&D community asked for 150
